Union of the Two Factions.

Union OF the Two fActions.
CHICAGO, September 26.-The news
papers here consider the most important
result of the recent Socialist Convention at
Buffalo was the amslgamation of Inter
natiopalists and Socialists.
The Chicago Reds" are iubilant and
predict that great work will be accom-.
plished in The next two years.
A local Socialist lesder is reported to-
day as making the following statement re-
garding the situation: The Information
ais, under the leadership OF Burnett C.
Haskell, OF Denver, formely of San Fran
cisco, have for years steadily opposed all
the work and methods OF the Socialist
Labor party. They held that the only
method by which the present social sys-
TEN could be overthrown was by iorre.
The coming resolution was all that they
thought about, and their work consisted
wholly in making preparations for that
great event Their greatest strength Is on
the Pacific coast and in Denver, and it is
a peculiar fact that they are Americans al
most to q man.

for the purpose of bringing about Social
ism, but by different methods from those
advocated by Haskell and his followers
Our plan is education and political action,
both of which have until recently been
sneered at by the revolutiorists as child's
play and milk-and-water policy. They
have changed their opinions of late, how.
ever, and are now about TO join the Social
lat Labor party in body and abandon
their former organization. Oar headQuar-
ters have been located in New York city.
The first thing that will be done will be
to establish first-class English dsily pa
per in every large city in the United States
These papers will form press association
of their own.
'Our plan Of campaign from now on
will be education. The money that has
been spent in the past on politics will after
this be devoted TO Socialistic literature
We shall flood the country with books and
pamphlets Socialism will be proclaimed
openly and above board, and not disguised
under the name of Progressive Labor party
United Labor party and similar designa-
tions. A congress will he held every two
years, until our congress shall supersede
the one that now meets in Washington.
All talk of revolution will be stopped. The
majority of us recognize the fact that revo.
lutions cannot be made TO order, but are Of
spontaneous growth"

INDIAN TRADER SHOT.
An Indian Scout Is Followed and Kills One
of His Pursuers.

OF His Pursuers.
WASHINGTON, September &c. The War
Department has been made aware for some
time Of threatened trouble at the San Car
lOS Indian reservation, III Arizona. The
situation there bears y Tesemhla &C TO that
which existed at the Ute reservation before
ColorOw's departure last summer, and in
both cases, the trouble appers to have
arisen from attempts by the state and ter
ritorial officials TO enforce civil processes
on the Indians. In the present case the
War Department is informed that a con-
stable with forty deputies is endeavoring
to serve the civil process, through an in
terpreter. 1t is believed at the depart
ment that any attempt to arrest the In
dians will lead to a general stampede.
Although nOminally under the control
of the Interior Department, the conduct Of
affairs at the San Carlos reservation is
really in the hands of captain in the
army. Under his general powers he has
authority to expel intruders from the res
ervatiOn, and might refuse to allow the
constable or any other civil officer to cross
the lines Of the reservation, but he has no
force at bis command to enforce au order
Of this kind. The following telegram has
been received at the War Department:
SAN CARLOS, Sept. -, Sunset.
Mr.. Portion, Indian trader, was shot by
and some scouts. The scout was shot, and
both Mr.. Portion and'th scout are dying.
